Chapter 265 Revelation of True Identity

Carla took a bite of the apple that she had been holding and casually chewed it while she responded to Terence's question, "Uhmm, I'm going there for an errand."

"What errand?" Terence asked.

"It's my own business. It has nothing to do with you." Carla didn't want to tell him the details of the trip. If she said that Noah asked her out, Terence would make a fuss about it. But she had promised Noah that she would go so she couldn't just cancel.

Without another word, Terence put down his game stick. He got up, approached her and sat by her side. He then said, "Your own business? That I do not know of?"

Carla looked at him from her peripheral view and retorted, "Of course I have my own business. Everyone has their own thing."

"Not you. You have to tell me honestly why you're going to HA City. Otherwise, I won't let you leave." Terence threatened her with a tone that Carla had not heard before.

Carla didn't like what she just heard so she responded, "I never say anything whenever you have to go somewhere. But why is it that when it's my turn to go, you get to have a say in it at all? You're being too dramatic!"

"Carla, tell me the truth. Did Noah ask you out?" Terence asked all of a sudden.

Carla was taken aback and she looked at him in surprise. How could he have guessed it right? She forced a cough and said, "Yes, I promised him that I would make time to visit HA City. Now that you're back for real, I have some spare time to go. I have to keep my promise."

"I'm just asking what exactly you are going to do there," Terence asked directly.

Although he was busy at that moment, he still knew what was going on in HA City. He heard that Allen had been in the hospital and was in a really bad condition.

'Why did Noah ask Carla to go to HA City?' Terence thought to himself.

He didn't believe that Noah would introduce Carla to the Hua family and tell them that she was actually their long-lost daughter.

Carla bit her lip and stared at him. Why did he have to ask the details?

"If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to ask Noah."

Terence reached out to grab his phone but Carla quickly stopped him.

"Alright. I'll tell you."

Carla finally gave in and started to tell him the whole story.

"Fine, here's what happened. Weeks ago, Noah told me that I

r you'll get the answer." Terence heaved a deep sigh and gently embraced her.

Everyone had their limits and one could only take things within his or her strength. So in Terence's perspective, she had to take it slowly so she could brace herself when she finally knew the whole truth.

"Terence, are you hiding something from me?" Carla asked, struggling out from his embrace to stare at him with wide eyes.

Terence hesitated and then answered, "Yes, but I'm doing this for your own good, and also for Sean. You'll understand it later."

Then, he lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

"You can go to HA City but remember Sean and I will be waiting for you to come home, right here," he concluded. Carla couldn't help but notice the sincerity yet a little bit of sadness in his voice.

Carla was now completely at a loss. She had no idea why he said that.

She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down.

Prior to that, Noah accidentally asked her whether she had ever wondered about her true identity.

She didn't pay it much attention at that time, but adding Terence's words with that of Noah's, she began to wonder what they could possibly mean.

Perhaps...

there was something hidden about her origins.

But it couldn't be. She had doubted everything, even Sean, but she had never doubted her origins.

Now with all the clues pointing to one thing, her certainty about it was being shaken.

Suddenly, she looked up at Terence and asked, "Terence, do you mean that I'm adopted?"
